Simone Leigh’s monumental sculptural installation at PAMM, Trophallaxis, takes its name from zoology, or the study of animals. The word itself comes from two Greek words, like many other scientific terms. Trophé means ‘nourishment,’ and allaxis means ‘exchange.’ The word describes a type of feeding behavior seen in the animal…

MY BODY, MY RULES is a group exhibition that examines the mainstream portrayal of women, confronting the stereotypes, violence, limitations, and ideals imposed on the disputed image of the female body.

Acquired for PAMM’s collection in 2020 with funds provided by Jorge M. Pérez, Chromosaturation is an immersive environment that reimagines color as an embodied experience.

Following over 25 years of effort, and thanks to the generosity of hundreds of supporters, the museum’s collection has grown to encompass nearly 3,000 works of art, a selection of which is currently on view in eight galleries spread throughout the building—two on the first floor and six on the…

Trophallaxis (2008–17) encapsulates artist Simone Leigh’s emphasis on the female body—particularly the Black female body—as a culturally loaded signifier. The presentation marks the first time this work is shown since it was acquired for the museum in 2018 with funds provided by PAMM’s Collectors Council.

Featuring works by artists such as Anthony Caro, Gonzálo Fonseca, Edgar Negret, Ernesto Neto, Jedd Novatt, Pablo Atchugarry and Mark di Suvero, PAMM’s Sculpture Garden displays large-scale sculptures that can be enjoyed in the open air.

Thanks to a recent grant received through the Bank of America Art Conservation Project, George Segal’s Abraham’s Farewell to Ishmael (1987) is on view for the first time since a complete restoration.

With a nod to Surrealism and its use of everyday materials, subversion of common objects, and incorporation of poetic language, this exhibition celebrates how the characteristics of the poème-objet (poem-object) are present in contemporary art.

Felipe Mujica creates works comprised of installation, drawing, collapsible sculptures, and printmaking. His fabric panels—or curtains, as he describes them—operate as both sculptural objects and functional architectural interventions.

Mariano: Variations on a Theme is the first major retrospective exhibition of the work of Cuban artist Mariano Rodríguez in the United States.

Jedd  Novatt: Monotypes and More is comprised of small-scale sculptures that inform  Novatt’s  two-dimensional works on paper and his relationship to drawing.

Zhivago Duncan creates elaborate multimedia works accompanied by sprawling narratives.
